Chapter 345: Undoing the poison
Zi Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Second Young Master, you must have remembered it wrongly. Although our young lady is a little spoiled at ordinary times, she would not treat her cousin like this."
Qiao Jibai was very tactful, "Yes, I remembered it wrongly. Sister Wanyan didn't say that my biological mother was of low status. I was confused and remembered it wrongly."
Zi Yuan heard the resentment and grievance in this sentence.
But what can I do? The young lady is indeed a naughty child who would say such things.
Qiao Wanyan was too embarrassed to say anything. The other person had just carried her back on his back, and it would not seem appropriate to say anything teasing.
"Since Sister Wanyan is not feeling well, why don't I send someone to the Shangshu Mansion to inform my uncle? Otherwise, when my uncle gets to know about it after he returns, he will blame me for not telling him in time."
Qiao Wanyan said: "It's not a big problem. It's been like this a lot recently. It will be fine after a while."
Qiao Jibai nodded slightly, "That's good. It's easy to get angry in spring and summer. If you have strong liver fire, just drink some medicine to reduce the fire."
"It's okay." Qiao Wanyan changed to a comfortable position and leaned against the soft pillow. "The medicine is too bitter. I'm much better now. I don't want to drink it."
Qiao Jibai was somewhat helpless, and spoke in a brotherly tone, "It's a bitter medicine, but if you find it bitter, I'll have someone prepare some candied fruit. If you don't take the medicine, you'll always have a recurring headache in the future, and your uncle will blame me for not taking good care of you."
He didn't give Qiao Wanyan a chance to refuse, "My biological mother is of low status, and I am not qualified to advise the Second Miss to take medicine. If the Second Miss really doesn't want to take it, then just don't take it."
Qiao Wanyan didn't hesitate, "Well, then I won't eat it."
Qiao Jibai was a little slow to react and couldn't help but look at her. Seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem to be lying or joking, he couldn't help laughing.
"If you agree to take the medicine, I will send someone to Shangshu Mansion to get you osmanthus cake."
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips, unmoved.
Qiao Jibai: "Add osmanthus soup."
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were moved, but she still didn't say anything.
Qiao Jibai: "Add osmanthus cakes, osmanthus wine, osmanthus meatballs, and osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root."
Qiao Wanyan: “.........”
"Even if I don't take the medicine, you have to prepare it for me, otherwise I will tell Daddy that you bullied me."
Qiao Jibai had never taken care of a child before, and the first time he encountered a child that was quite difficult to take care of.
"If you tell my uncle, I will bring the imperial physician to seek justice from him."
Qiao Wanyan felt that she had met her match. "If you bring the imperial physician to seek redress for your grievances, Daddy will still scold you when I cry!"
Qiao Jibai nodded, "Well, my biological mother is of humble status, so it is right for her to be punished by my uncle."
Qiao Wanyan's eyes darkened. "Is it not okay for me to drink?"
Qiao Jibai raised his lips and smiled, "Okay."
Qiao Wanyan felt that her previous impression of Qiao Jibai was not quite right. She used to think that he was a person with little presence, just a rather insignificant person in the second house, and would become a person worse than Qiao Congshan in the future.
But at this moment, she felt that Qiao Jibai was a natural villain.
After an incense stick of time, Jiang Bai came in with a bowl of medicine.
He moved very cautiously, even his steps were reduced by half, which made Zi Yuan tease him for being too timid and being so scared of carrying medicine.
If it spills, just boil another bowl. Is it necessary to be so cautious?
Jiang Bai laughed, "Miss, you are kidding me. I dare not spill even a drop of Second Miss's medicine. I also prepared some candied fruits. I wonder if Second Miss likes these."
Zi Yuan took it and said, "You are quite good at choosing. Our young lady likes these kinds of candied fruits."
Qiao Wanyan took the medicine and looked at the black antidote with a dark red tint, feeling a little disgusted.
Qiao Jibai said in a gentle voice: "Jiang Bai, hurry up and go to the Shangshu Mansion to get some osmanthus cake made by Sun Tian."
Jiang Bai responded repeatedly.
Qiao Wanyan frowned and drank up all the medicine in the small bowl.
Qiao Jibai looked at the empty bottom of the bowl, not even a drop of medicine, and smiled with his deep peach blossom eyes, "Drink the medicine, and the disease will be cured. Have a good rest, I will report to the Queen, you don't have to go to the dinner tonight."
Qiao Wanyan had not planned to go in the first place. For some reason, although her headache was gone, she felt a little groggy and lay down lazily, "Okay, go ahead."
After they left, Qiao Wanyan felt even more dizzy. "Ziyuan, I'm a little sleepy. Please close the window. I want to rest."
Zi Yuan nodded immediately, "Yes, Miss."
Just as Zi Yuan was about to close the door, she saw Jiang Qiyun's figure in the distance. She immediately closed the door and stood in front of the door, reminding him, "Young Marquis, the young lady is feeling unwell and has gone to bed."
Jiang Qiyun immediately whispered, "Feeling unwell? Has the imperial physician come? What did he say?"
"The headache was caused by excessive liver fire, but it was said to be gone after taking the medicine."
Jiang Qiyun was relieved, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he worked as a guard in the yard to prevent anyone from breaking in and disturbing the sleep of the young lady in the house.
Qiao Wanyan slept for a very long time. Ziyuan thought she would sleep in the morning and wake up at noon, but unexpectedly, she showed no sign of waking up until night.
During this time, Zi Yuan couldn't help but go to the bedside and use her fingers to check her breath.
After the night banquet, Qian Miaoyun asked the Queen Mother for two palace maids. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she saw Jiang Qiyun sitting on the railing under the corridor, with his back against a long pillar, one leg bent and his eyes closed, resting.
It seemed that he was not asleep. He opened his eyes and looked over when he heard the noise. "Be quiet. Sister Wanyan has already fallen asleep."
Qian Miaoyun frowned, "What does it have to do with me whether she goes to sleep or not? If you dislike the noise, why don't you just stay here?!"
Jiang Qiyun turned over from the corridor and said, "If I tell you to keep your voice down, then keep your voice down. If you can't do it, get out! Sister Wanyan is not feeling well and has gone to bed. Can't you take care of some patients?"
Qian Miaoyun had already suffered a lot of humiliation and injustice during the day, and now she couldn't even speak because of Qiao Wanyan, which made her even angrier.
"Is she a princess or a princess? Why should I take care of her? Why did she come to Yuxiu Garden when she knew she was not feeling well? I hate that her illness would make me sick! If you don't want to live here, take her to live somewhere else as soon as possible!"
Qian Miaoyun's voice rose, and Jiang Qiyun's face became very gloomy. He wanted to cover her mouth but was reluctant to touch her. "No wonder the Queen, your aunt, didn't match you with the Prince. It turns out it's because she knows you have a foul mouth!"
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and took a step back with a look of disgust.
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out in the main room.
The people in the yard looked towards the closed door.
Jiang Qiyun immediately ran towards that direction, but when he reached the door he did not dare to rush in.
But standing at the door, he saw Qiao Wanyan in the house, wearing a plain white dress with her long hair hanging down.
There was a chilling gloom on that face.
